Hold
In the early days of React, Flux was introduced by Facebook as an architectural pattern for managing global state. Later, it evolved into a library, with contributions from the community.
Today, there are numerous libraries that offer the Flux pattern or similar approaches to state management. These include framework-agnostic solutions like Redux or MobX, as well as framework-specific options like Pinia for Vue and Zustand for React, among many others.
One of the most popular solutions to date is Redux, which is why we use it in several projects.
